There is growing interest in how the brain's motor systems contribute to the perception of musical rhythms. The Action Simulation for Auditory Prediction hypothesis proposes that the dorsal auditory stream is involved in bidirectional interchange between auditory perception and beat-based prediction in motor planning structures via parietal cortex [Patel, A. D., & Iversen, J. R. The evolutionar...

Although absolute variability in postnatal ossification timing is generaIly larger in boys than in girls, reIative, conception-corrected variability is signscantly larger in girls, suggestive of a “dosage” effect and consistent with the hypothesis of partial X-linkage. These findings, together with the excess of sister-sister over brother-brother timing similarities are inconsistent with the hy...

This paper describes a deterministic scheduling model for hard real-time executions in the DEpendable Distributed Operating System DEDOS currently under development at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The model is based on the concepts incorporated in DEDOS, and includes absolute timing constraints, generic relative timing constraints, data-dependency constraints, and generic consistency...

ABSTRACT: Relative speech timing was examined in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) and in agematched control speakers. Relative timing ratios were created from temporal intervals in one phrase containing no pause, one phrase containing an optional pause, and one phrase containing a mandatory pause. Results indicated that there were no relative timing differences between participants with ...

ultra-wideband (uwb) radio is a promising technology for low-cost, high-rate communications at short ranges. however, high bandwidth and low power of the uwb signals impose some difficult challenges in signal processing and implementation of the receiver. acquisition of the signal timing is the first task to be performed in a coherent receiver. the high bandwidth of uwb signals demand for fine ...

The incorporation of timing makes circuit verification computationally expensive. This paper proposes a new approach for the verification of timed circuits. Rather than calculating the exact timed state space, a conservative overestimation that fulfills the property under verification is derived. Timing analysis with absolute delays is efficiently performed at the level of event structures and ...

This chapter investigates how real-time system programs can be implemented. We rst review the important issues in a real-time programming language. The timing constraint constructs in various programming languages, such as Flex, RTC++, and RT-Euclid, are introduced and compared. We also present an implementation scheme of the timing constraint block in Flex. The interactions between constraints...

Although decreased accuracy and increased variability of movement is a common developmental finding, the nature of these performance patterns remains poorly understood. The present study examined the accuracy and stability of several aspects of oral motor control. Specifically, we examined the control of absolute timing (temporal parameterization), absolute amplitude (amplitude parameterization...

Relational timing has been proposed as a solution to the problem of variability across durational properties of speech arising with changes in speaking rate. The current study investigates the role of absolute and relational timing cues in perception of Japanese stop length (singleton/ geminate) categorization. Absolute (stop duration) and relational (ratio of stop duration to preceding mora du...
